Warm Summer Nights

i really think that concerts on summer nights are one of my top 3 favorite summer things to do...
it's the warm air

picnic dinner

openness

sunset (of course)

blankets in the grass

get my groove on with the kids (they should know their mom has got the moves)

hanging out with my family

people watching

sometimes the good music

that kickback feelin'...

My uncle jim and aunt nancy came for a weeks visit. They were able to experience a bit of santa clarita with us at the park. My mom came too! They shared some great stories and brought back some amazing gifts from their travels by sea. I have worn my handmade necklace everyday! :) And kienan remembered to blow the shell tonight when he saw the sunsetting!
